With the support of the contemporary heads of the Meili family, the leader of the four prominent families, the other ethnic groups naturally have to sell their face. Moreover, the Liu family has strongly supported it, so they naturally cannot fall behind.

This family sold 200 yuan, and that family sold 100 yuan. The companies invited and the big merchants in Macheng were also considered to be the second blood today. Liu Jun stood there, listening to these salary assistance, and he could not believe it.

Each family paid real money. Before everyone came, they almost knew the reason for the meal tonight. Therefore, they brought money before they came. At this time, the servants of each family came up with boxes and took out the money they paid for by their masters in full.

Li Chunjiang took Liu Jun to check out the cashiers from each family, and every time the cashiers were collected, he would come forward and bow to express his gratitude.

Finally, a large box of silver was piled up.

The Li family's salary-assisted banquet was very successful. At the banquet, more than 5,700 taels of silver were received. In addition, there were 46 horses that each company promised to sponsor and support, and more than 500 stones of grain that each company promised to buy.

It made Liu Jun extremely happy. With this money, if only the number 70 people are currently maintained, it will be basically enough, and even their horses are almost enough to have one.

Of course, it is a price to pay after getting so many benefits.

The price is that they were filled with a lot of wine. Those who paid the money all figured out what Liu Jun came from, but since the Meili and Liu families were so supportive, they took the initiative to show their goodwill. You drink one cup by one, and I unknowingly, this wine has been drunk a lot. In the end, you can't favor one or the other. Even if you drink it almost the same, you have to grit your teeth and drink it all.

At the end of the drink, Liu Jun was even sluggish and didn't even know when the banquet would end.

When I woke up again, there were birds singing outside and the morning light was clear.

Shaking his head with a little pain, Liu Jun got up and realized that he had lived in the Li family for a night. As soon as he woke up, the maid from the Li family came to serve him, fetching water, handing him towels, and bringing green salt and toothbrush to brush his teeth. Finally, he even brought him a brand new set of clothes, shoes and socks.

"Brother Jiye, your head must still hurt, right?" Li Chunjiang rubbed his head and appeared in front of Liu Jun's door.

"I didn't say anything rude after I got drunk last night. Oh, I didn't even know how I got here. I was so drunk." Liu Jun smiled.

"Although it's really uncomfortable to get drunk, it's still worth it to drink so much wine yesterday. Five thousand, seven hundred and fifty taels of silver, forty-six good horses, and five hundred and fifty stones of food. It's worth it. If I get drunk again and can exchange for so much money and grain, I'm willing to get drunk again." Li Chunjiang said.

"Hahaha!" Liu Jun couldn't help laughing.

"Carry it out and follow me."

While tidying up his clothes, Liu Jun asked, "Where to go?"

"Of course we went to get equipment. Now we have people, horses, and money and food. The only thing we lack is equipment." Li Chunjiang said impatiently.

Speaking of this, Liu Jun was also a little confused. They belonged to the self-built gentry armed forces, and were under the village group of the great gentry Mei Zhihuan. The village group belonged to the gentry armed forces, so where did this equipment come from?

He asked Li Chunjiang a question, but Li Chunjiang just smiled and did not treat him as a problem at all.

"This is not a problem. As long as you have money, you can do whatever weapons and equipment you want."

After Li Chunjiang's introduction and explanation, Liu Jun solved some doubts. It turned out that it was precisely because of the chaos in various places, especially after the treacherous chaos in Shaanxi, not only Shaanxi, but even most of the Central Plains were scattered by treacherous people. The treacherous people were scattered everywhere, which led to the treacherous people from all over the country.

The military equipment of the garrisons in various places has long been abolished, and the troops recruited by the court have mostly been concentrated in the northern borders. Although ministers have been sent to supervise the Central Plains to suppress bandits, they always press the gourd and the gourd to raise their groves. It is in this embarrassing situation that the court supports local governments to establish village groups and train militias.

Local governments often have no money to run village gangs, and in the end they allow gentry and landlords from all over the country to spend money to recruit people to establish village gangs and protect the villages. In name, the village gangs are still under the leadership of local governments, but in fact they have become private armed forces of the gentry.

Just like in Macheng, there is not only a village group of Mei family. The Baoshengbao Township Group of Mei family is just the most powerful. There are many wealthy families in Macheng, such as Meili, Zhou and Liu. Each family has more than a thousand slaves, and each family has a team of servants. It turns out that it is just equipped with sticks and so on. Since the peasant army became more and more powerful, each family has begun to equip its servants with swords, guns and arrows.

Ru Mei Zhihuan even spent a lot of money to get many cannons and muskets through her own relationship, and even borrowed a firearm unit of more than 300 people from Nangan.

For example, the Li family, Liu family, Zhou family and others have also brought swords, guns, bows, arrows, war horses and firearms to their servants through their relationship. It can be said that as long as they have relationships and money, they will have any weapons and equipment. The iron armored muskets and cannons that were originally banned by the state can still get them now.

Therefore, Liu Jun and his team of the village yong horses did not have to worry about equipment at all. As long as they had money, they could get all kinds of equipment through ready-made channels.

Of course, these equipment are actually made from garrisons and even the national ordnance production workshops. This is basically a well-known thing and there is no risk. Although things sound incredible, the squire can easily get a large number of national military equipment, but that's the truth.

The place where Li Chunjiang pulled Liu Jun was in Baosheng Fort in Shenzhuang. He went there to find a staff member of Mei Zhihuan, who was a person who was responsible for equipment. Just ask him for help and contact him whatever Liu Jun and the others wanted. There was a special person selling various equipment. If you need it, prepare the money, and then find the corresponding contact person to place an order, negotiate the price, and then wait for the receipt. You don’t have to worry about other issues. They have a very good reputation.

"What equipment are you going to buy? Is there a list?" Mei Zhihuan's aide is a Chinese man with a very beautiful beard. He is not surprised at the purpose of Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang. It seems that Liu Jun is not here to buy weapons, but just to make soy sauce.

Li Chunjiang slapped his head at this time, "Well, first, one hundred sets of iron armor, then two hundred three-eyed guns, and then two hundred waist knives, and there is still some gunpowder..."

"Wait." Liu Jun couldn't stand it anymore. You really thought it was here to make soy sauce. You just slapped your head and decided without having to discuss it carefully?

"I think we should discuss it carefully. For example, we have about 70 people now, so we can buy the equipment according to this quantity. In addition, our cavalry team does not need iron armor, right? In addition, the three-eyed gun does not seem to be very suitable for us."

Li Chunjiang thought he should buy more, "We have more than 70 people now, so we will definitely increase it in the future. In addition, training and combat will definitely be a bit damaged, so buying more is always a good thing. In addition, the three-eyed gun is very good. It is said that the Liaodong Iron Cavalry once equipped with three-eyed guns in large quantities. The soldiers all said that the three-eyed guns are easy to use, and they can be used as maces after the battle. They can be used as long-range attacks and close combat. They are a good thing."

Although Liu Jun didn't know much about firearms, he knew that in the late Ming Dynasty, the three-eyed gun was definitely not the best firearm. Moreover, he practiced the three-eyed gun when he was in the military school. He knew that this kind of firearm that could be three-shot was actually a very backward fire gate gun. He had to use fire snatches to ignite gunpowder to shoot. Even the most backward firearm in his impression was far inferior to the most backward firearm.

Not to mention the accuracy is extremely low, and the shooting distance is extremely short. According to the three-eyed gun he used in martial arts in memory, the effective strike distance seems to be only two meters before it has lethality. Once more than two meters, it is no different from shooting at the sky. If it cannot hit people, it cannot kill people.

The only advantage is probably that Li Chunjiang said that after the launch is completed, it can still be used as a mace. After all, this thing is actually a wooden stick poking on a pile of several kilograms of iron pipe connected by three iron gun barrels.

"I have used the three-eyed gun, and it is definitely not a powerful firearm. In my opinion, buying a three-eyed gun is better than buying a bird gun. It is a medley gun. Compared to the three-eyed gun, the bird gun can break iron armor within a hundred steps, and it has high accuracy." Liu Jun said.

"But I heard that bird guns can be very troublesome to use. They may be loaded and fired for half a day, and many people even don't know how to use them."

"That's just untrained. As long as you are well-trained, a stick of incense can shoot at least one shot, or even two shots."

Li Chunjiang was a little surprised, "Bird guns are so easy to use? Then why don't the northern border troops use bird guns?"

At this time, the middle-aged staff member interrupted, "Bird gun is indeed stronger than three-eyed guns, but weapons are dead, and people are alive. If the people who use them are not used to better bird guns, then what's the use?" He looked at Liu Jun while saying that, and was surprised that the young martial artist actually knew so much about firearms.

"But the bird gun is indeed very complicated to use. Without sufficient training, the bird gun cannot perform as powerful as it should be, and it is not as good as the three-eyed gun. After all, the three-eyed gun is simple to use, especially those barbarians in the Northern Army. As soon as they get up, they always like to use firearms as maces. If the bird gun is not used to shoot, it is actually better than a fire stick." He introduced with a smile.

"So it's still so complicated. So let's buy bird guns?"

Liu Jun still shook his head, "Although the musket is powerful, it requires time to train. Without sufficient training, it is difficult to perform bird guns. Our horse team has newly built, and I thought it is not suitable to equip all bird guns. You can buy some bird guns, then buy some bows and arrows, buy some hook guns, and waist knives as melee weapons."
